25 years ago and one day today, on 22 February, ETA killed two workers in San Sebastian, Josu Leonet and Jose Angel Santos, both workers at the Elektra factory, who were on their way to work when they were hit by a car bomb detonated near the Martutene railway station.

Leonet, born Tolosarra and 31 years old, and José Ángel Santos, 40, of Galician origin, died there; six others were injured in the attack, including Dubreuil himself.

Since 2022 there has been a commemorative plaque for both workers near Martutene station.
